Add 'Nested Grouping' option in the grouping plugin Nested groups are detected by the '/' character in the group name. For example, groups 'Work/Accounting' and 'Work/Lab' will both be nested under a 'Work' parent group. It would probably make more sense to actually name the subgroups 'Accounting' and 'Lab' in this case, and a patch to make that happen will be gladly accepted. I think some other client uses similar behaviour for group nestedness.
